[Phonesthemic invention of Lewis Carroll, perhaps blend of gallop and triumphant.] "When it was announced that this galumphing vehicle was moving from screen to stage, insiders shook their heads in disbelief." David Benedict, Colourful animal magic that just saves the show, Independent, 15 Jul 1998. This week's theme: coined words. X-Bonus Most people are mirrors, reflecting the moods and emotions of the times; few are windows, bringing light to bear on the dark corners where troubles fester. The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows. -Sydney J. Harris
